-------- Original Message -------- Karen, I'm not a member of the ldm-users group, but could you post this message for me? thanks Lak I was forwarded a couple of emails on a thread of WDSS that's been going on in this group. What follows are my observations, and should not be assumed to be actual NSSL or OU policy (I'm not too clear on all the intellectual property ramifications of this). NSSL/OU have stopped supporting WDSS (even at the NWS). Current development efforts are oriented towards WDSS-II: http://cimms.ou.edu/~lakshman/WDSS2 which builds upon WDSS in that it deals with multi-radar data besides single-radar data, and can optionally incorporate information from other sources including surface observations, mesonets, cloud-to-ground and LMA lightning, satellite, etc. There are many more algorithms in WDSS-II than the SCIT, HDA, MDA and TVS algorithms available in WDSS. An almost complete list is here: http://cimms.ou.edu/~lakshman/WDSS2/algdoc/ WDSS-II is being made available free for research use. Some private companies, to my understanding, are using WDSS-II through cooperative research agreements with NSSL. The University of Oklahoma is trying to come up with some mechanism for making WDSS-II available to commercial organizations.
